Sewing

Here's a little project I did to recycle a duvet cover I had done some years ago in patchwork.

Here it was, on my old bed that I had painted and decoupaged

As it was not easy to put the duvet inside it, I decided to find some other use for it.
The first thing I came pu with was a cover for my mom's sewing machine. It originally had a wooden cabinet where it could be stored with all the accessories, but when I had to sell her home, I did not have any space to keep the whole thing, so I got rid of the wooden part and actually store the sewing machine in my cabinet.

Here I am cutting the fabric. I used a piece of fleece I had laying around as backing

Doing some quilting....

My sewing machine, time to see if I did the measurements right..... :)

Luckily it seems I did!

The other side

And here a close-up of the quilting I did, very easy, but that's what I can do! :)

About me

Born in Como, Italy, where I still live, I have always had a passion for painting and colors, but real life led me to do other things until recently.

I have experimented during the last 30 years with different mediums like porcelain, silk, & wood. Lately I have been doing what I call "real" painting, like oils, but found my passion is without a doubt watercolors.

I love the glow that this medium imprints to paintings.

I am a self taught artist, and my experience comes from trial and error and painting, painting, painting!

Painting is a joy for my heart, and I really hope that you may too get some of this joy by vieving my artwork.
